Tenerife, the largest island, has a population of just under 900,000 people&mdash;the vast majority of whom are Catholic. It&rsquo;s no surprise, therefore, that the island has a fair share of churches and cathedrals, including the historic La Laguna Cathedral, built at the beginning of the 20th century in a syncretic mix of styles including Neoclassical and Neo-Gothic. Not too far away (about 4km) sits the Holy Redeemer Church, built in 2012 by Menis Arquitectos&mdash;a wildly different approach to ecclesiastical architecture, but just as impressive.</p>
